Chief meteorologist Tom Terry and the team of certified meteorologists at WFTV Channel 9 have developed the WFTV Channel 9 Weather App, an exceptional local weather technology that provides accurate and up-to-date information.

This app, available for free 24/7, is continuously updated with the latest storm and forecast information specifically for the Orlando and Central Florida areas. Additionally, users can watch live coverage of Eyewitness News and the WFTV meteorologists in Severe Weather Center 9 directly on their mobile devices.
